About the journal
Irish Political Studies ( IPS ) is the only refereed journal exclusively dedicated to the publication of high-quality academic articles on Irish politics. It covers politics in the Republic of Ireland, in Northern Ireland, the politics of their bilateral relationship and the politics of their relationship with the United Kingdom, and the European Union. IPS is the official journal of the Political Studies Association of Ireland , the professional body of political scientists in Ireland, North and South.
Founded in 1986 Irish Political Studies has served a crucial constituency of academics, students, journalists and political practitioners. It is the fundamental resource for any serious study of contemporary Ireland and has also contributed significantly to a greater understanding of Irish political science, political history, and has helped to place Irish politics in a broader comparative perspective.

Instructions to Authors
This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.
Irish Political Studies is a refereed journal publishing articles and reports in the area of politics that have a significant Irish component. Articles submitted to Irish Political Studies should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time. If another version of the article is under consideration by another publication, or has been, or will be published elsewhere, authors should clearly indicate this at the time of submission.
MANUSCRIPTS
All submissions should be made online at the Irish Political Studies Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.
Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as “File not for review”.
There is no standard length for articles but 8,000 words (including notes and references) is a useful target. Authors will be asked to inform the editors of the exact length of the article at the time of submission. The article should begin with an abstract of 100-200 words, which should describe the main arguments and conclusions of the article. Authors should also provide up to six keywords on submission.
Where a paper is accepted for publication, the authors must ensure that the manuscript follows the style outlined here. All diagrams, charts, graphs and maps should be referred to as figures and consecutively numbered. Tables should be kept to a minimum and contain only essential data. Each figure and table must be given an Arabic numeral, followed by a heading, and be referred to in the text. Sources should be given in full for tables, maps and figures.
Figures must be saved individually and separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the paper file.
- Avoid the use of colour and tints for purely aesthetic reasons.
- Figures should be produced as near to the finished size as possible.
- All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g. figure 1, figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1(a), figure 1(b)).
- Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly.
- The filename for the graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
- Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
Please note that it is in the author's interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please do not hesitate to contact our Production Department if you have any queries.
STYLE
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts conform to the journal style. The editors will not undertake retyping of manuscripts before publication.
Notes and references:
The number of notes should be kept to a minimum. They should be numbered consecutively throughout the article and indicated in the text by a raised numeral, without brackets, referring to the list of notes, which should be placed at the end of the article. Acknowledgements should be included as unnumbered and unreferenced notes at the beginning of the notes section.
References should follow the Harvard style and be inserted in the text in parentheses, indicating author, year of publication and page reference, e.g. (Smith, 1996: 21-4), (Smith and Jones, 2001). If there are more than three authors, use the first name followed by 'et al.'. Full bibliographic references should follow at the end of the article, under 'References', in alphabetical order.
